OVERJOYED
By
Stevie Wonder
***************
Over time, I’ve been building my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason
I’ve gone much too far for you now to say
That I’ve got to throw my castle away
Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I’ve been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day
And though you don’t believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what I’ve searched to discover
I’ve come much too far for me now to find
The love that I’ve sought can never be mine
And though you don’t believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over loved, over you, over you
IF IT’S MAGIC
***************
If it’s magic…
Then why can’t it be everlasting
Like the sun that always shines
Like the poets in this rhyme
Like the galaxies in time
If it’s pleasing…
Then why can’t it be never leaving
Like the day that never fails
Like on seashores there are shells
Like the time that always tells
It holds the key to every heart
Throughout the universe
It fills you up without a bite
And quenches every thirst
So…
If it’s special
Then with it why aren’t we as careful
As making sure we dress in style
Posing pictures with a smile
Keeping danger from a child
It holds the key to every heart
Throughout the universe
It fills you up without a bite
And quenches every thirst
So…
If it’s magic…
Why can’t we make it everlasting
Like the lifetime of the sun
It will leave no heart undone
For there’s enough for everyone
VISIONS
***************
People hand in hand
Have I lived to see the milk and honey land ?
Where hate’s a dream and love forever stands
Or is this a vision in my mind ?
The law was never passed
But somehow all men feel they’re truly free at last
Have we really gone this far through space and time
Or is this a vision in my mind ?
I’m not one who makes believe
I know that leaves are green
They only change to brown when autumn comes around
I know just what I say
Today’s not yesterday
And all things have an ending
But what I’d like to know
Is could a place like this exist so beautiful
Or do we have to find our wings and fly away
To the vision in our mind ?
I’m not one who makes believes
I know that leaves are green
They only change to brown when autumn comes around
I know just what I say
Today’s not yesterday
And all things have an ending
But what I’d like to know
Is could a place like this exist so beautiful
Or do we have to take our wings and fly away
To the vision in our minds ?
THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS
***************
I can’t conceive the nucleus of all
Begins inside a tiny seed
And what we think as insignificant
Provides the purest air we breathe
But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the Secret Life of Plants
A species smaller than the eye can see
Or larger than most living things
And yet we take from it without consent
Our shelter, food, habilment
But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being
For these are but a few discoveries
Wwe find inside the Secret Life of Plants
But far too many give them in return
A stomp, cut, drown, or burn
As is they’re nothing
But if you ask yourself where would you be
Without them you will find you would not
And some believe antennas are their leaves
That spans beyond our galaxy
They’ve been, they are and probably will be
Who are the mediocrity
But who am I to doubt or question the inevitable being
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the Secret Life of Plants
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the Secret Life of Plants
RACE BABBLING
***************
This world is moving much to fast
They’re race babbling
This world is moving much to fast
The end’s unravelling
Man’s production
Life’s corruption
World destruct
Help me people
Save you people
God’s induction
Life’s construction
These instruct
Will save every living thing
Can’t you see that
Life’s connected
You need us to live
Both we don’t need you
This world is moving much to fast
They’re race babbling
This world is moving much to fast
They’re race babbling
This world is moving much to fast
The end’s unravelling
This world is moving much too fast
You can’t conceive the nucleus of all
Begins inside a tiny seed
And what you see as insignificant
Man’s production
Life’s corruption
World destruct
Help me people
Save you people
God’s induction
Life’s construction
These instruct
Will save every living thing
Can’t you see that

You need us to live
Both we don’t need you
This world is moving much to fast
This world is moving much to fast
They’re race babbling
This world is moving much to fast
They’re space travelling
This world is moving much to fast
They’re race babbling
This world is moving much to fast
The end’s unravelling
This world is moving much to fast
This world is moving much to fast
This world is moving much to fast
They’re race babbling
This world is moving much to fast
They’re space travelling
BIRD OF BEAUTY

Simon says that now your mind desires a vacation,
Free to join in fun and plenty recreation.
There awaits you a ticket
At Please Have A Good Time Station,
‘Cause what is, is gonna stay,
Till ole Father Time decides to change.
Simon says that your mind is requesting furlough,
Let it find the answers to things
That you’ve always wanted to know.
There’s a tour of many places
That you’ve always wanted to go,
And to me that sure sounds best
‘Cause it means happiness for you.
There is so much in life for you to feel
Unfound in white, red, or yellow pills.
A mind excursion can be such a trill,
You please satisfy,
Take a chance and ride
The bird of beauty of the sky.
Do do do do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do do
Tudo bem voce deve descannar a sua mente,
Nao faz mal o qu vai acontecer daqui pra fente.
Vai cantar alegria…….
Voce coracao assim tao feliz ja vai cantar carnaval.
